2D Axisymmetric Lagrangian Solver for Taylor Impact with Johnson-Cook Constitutive Model. Vol. 1

Abstract : A Taylor impact solver has been developed, documented, and provided for installation on personal computers. This code operates under Microsoft Windows environments on personal computers to allow the interpretation of cylinder impact data in terms of high strain rate material constants. The code allows the determination of the Johnson-Cook constitutive model constants from cylinder impact data. The also demonstrated the importance of the dynamic behavior of materials at high rated of loading. See Vol 2 (Software to accompany Vol 1).
